Oidhche Gun Tamh | Lewisian Nights

S霉il sp貌rsail air ais air leth-cheud bliadhna de che貌l pop agus roc air Eilean Le貌dhais. A fun-filled look back at 50 years of pop and rock music on the isle of Lewis.

Thug telebhisean agus Top of the Pops ce貌l pop gu Le貌dhas anns na 1960an agus thug e buaidh air saoghal a鈥� chi霉il bhe貌 ionadail sa bhad. Agus nuair a chur cl脿ran agus r猫idio gun cheadachd gn猫ithean leithid country agus blues dhan mheasgachadh, bha 貌igridh chruthachail an eilein air am brosnachadh. San leth-linn bhon uairsin, tha saoghal a鈥� chi霉il air a bhith suas is s矛os, ach gu o chionn ghoirid, bha e air bhoil.
Tha an neach-ci霉il ionadail Iain MacAoidh a鈥� toirt s霉il bh脿idheil thar nam bliadhnachan agus a鈥� beachdachadh air d猫 a tha san amharc.

Television and Top of the Pops brought pop music to Lewis in the 1960s and began to impact the local live music scene immediately. When records and pirate radio added genres like country and blues to the mix, creative local youngsters picked up every ball and ran with them. In the half century since then, the scene has waxed and waned, but until recently the trajectory was very much up. Local musician Iain Mackay takes a fond look over the years and wonders what the future holds.

In Gaelic with English subtitles.
